De la Guerra Fría al calentamiento global. Estados Unidos, España y el nuevo orden cientítico mundial

Summary:

Diplomats, secrets, alliances, spies, uranium, and bombs are found in this book, bringing together characters and pictures that would be typical of the nuclear era and the Cold War. But we also find scientists, research and technological exchanges, since the analyzed question foccuses on how did American military and economic hegemony influence new forms of scientific and technical research during the second half of the 20^th century? The innovation of this book is it analyzes both research and international relations to investigate the following questions: Did the ways of doing science in different countries change with the new political map? What role did Spain play during this period? What was the diplomatic work of scientists? How was the new power of science configured in the different regions of the world? What disciplines received more attention according to the new military and economic interests? These pages do not intend to provide a definitive answer to these questions, but rather to pose them in all their complexity through a rigorous and innovative approach, but at the same time entertaining and accessible.
